NBA Salary Cap Likely To Eclipse $200M By 28-29

[RealGM Wiretap]

With the NBA set to begin new media rights deals at more than $7 billion per season in 25-26, the salary cap will increase significantly over the coming seasons.

However, the NBA and NBPA agreed to only increase the salary cap by 10 percent per season.

With a 10 percent increase per season, the salary cap will top $200 million beginning in the 28-29 season. The supermax that season at 35 percent of the cap will have a starting salary of $72 million and be worth $419 million over five seasons. The fifth-year salary on that supermax contract will be worth $95 million as the NBA approaches the point where some players earn nine figures per season by the 33-34 season.

some players are going to make more than 10k per dribble by those numbers

So NBA teams can afford $200 million per year on players' salaries, but still cry poor to cities when it comes time for arenas. WTF?
